"AND THERE IS ANOTHER AMONG THEM WHO SAYS: 'OUR LORD, GIVE US GOOD IN THIS WORLD AND GOOD IN THE HEREAFTER AND SAVE US FROM THE PUNISHMENT OF FIRE." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:201)

Part 2

This prayer is so comprehensive that it covers the whole range of a person's worldly objectives, as well as objectives related to the Hereafter. And if a person keeps praying it InshaAllah it will bring peace and tranquility to him both in this world and the Hereafter. In the end the verse refers to deliverance from the fire of Hell as well. It was for this reason that Rasool Allah ﷺ used to offer this prayer frequently,

ربّنا اتنا فی الدنیا حسنة و فی الآخرة حسنة و قنا عذاب النّار".

"O Lord! give us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of Fire."

It is masnun (Sunnah) to say this prayer particularly while doing tawaf.
